not so bad
speaking as a runner, I have to say, it's nice to see actual *running* being promoted, vs. the 'events' many races have become, clogged with fundraising walkers.
And speaking from experience - the running skirt is GREAT. Comfortable and attractive. I love mine and am glad to see they've made the leap to serious running - I just ran a 50K and counted 4 women wearing them.
I personally found the race concept amusing but maybe because I actually have a chance at keeping ahead of the man-pack and winning some money. The race will attract men runners, and my personal experience has been that men who've worked hard to race well have nothing but admiration for women who have worked hard and race equally well.
